New Post Offices Scheduled for Oregon When Congress Acts Washington, Oct. 21 UP) If congress decides to resume con struction of post offices and federal buildings next year the post office department has prepared a list of Oregon construction Donaugh Raps Liquor Board Portland. Ore., Oct. 19 (U.B Carl C. Donaugh, democratic candidate for governor, Friday night in a radio speech here assailed the state liquor com mission as a "one-ring circus." If he is elected, the liquor commission members will not be reappointed, he said. Donaugh referred to Ray Con way, commission administrator, as "cracking the whipe and run ning tie show." He charged that the liquor commission "has gone into the merchandising business in a big way, bu with poor merchandis ing methods and frequently in ferior merchandise." Ha said that conditions tes tify that the liquor commission has not been following the Knox law injunctions to promote tem perance and to creat a sensible administration of liquor sales. Discussing the purchase two years ago by the Oregon and Washington liquor commissions of two Kentucky distilleries, Do naugh quoted Leslie Scott, re publican state treasurer, to the effect that the distillery pur chase "was engineered to cheat the federal government out of excess profit taxes" from dis tillery owners. As to the investigation or dered by the 1945 legislature, he said, "whitewash or no white wash, the purchase of a dis tillery was no credit to the state of Oregon." Food Bought in Free Market Washington, Oct. 19 (IP) American housewives are now buying food on 90 percent "free" market, the OPA esti mated today, and their own thriftiness is the last barrier against runaway prices. They are making headway in the fight against inflation, re ports indicated. A downward trend in prices was noted in most food and commodity mar kets after a brief-lived tendency to reach the skies. In addition, many retail stores were advertising their intention to keep prices down as far as their costs permit. Less than a week after Presi dent Truman's action signalling the end of most controls, the OPA calculated that approxi mately 35 percent of the items in the average family basket have been freed from ceilings since last Tuesday. It figured the average budget expended 30.5 percent on meat, 2 percent on fats and oils, and 2 percent on coffee. All these have now been decontrolled. Previously, about 45 percent of the nation's food items were still under OPA ceilings thus leaving only 10 percent in the restricted class. Meanwhile, the OPA moved ahead in its program to junk a great majority of war-time curbs by November 1 with the notable exception of those on rents, automobiles and refrigerators.

Wheat ley. Inheritance tax of 137 84 has been de termined on the 114.1422ft net taxable estate oX Henry H. Kioeping, it would like to undertake. The list names towns and cities where the department believes federal construction would be justified. Before the war the government spent $65,000,000 to $70,000,000 in constructing such buildings throughout the country, planning one in each congressional district each year. It prepared a new list, last year but congress decided time was not ripe for such construc tion. The department thinks the annual appropriation, when congress decides to resume con struction of federal buildings, will run up to $200,000,000 or more throughout the nation. The construction is done by the fed eral works agency. To get on the list a town in Oregon must have postal re reicpts of $10,000 a year or show that its present facilities are no longer adequate. There have been no new postoffices constructed since 1940 though some under way were finished after that date. On the list the post office de partment prepared for congress last year Portland led the Ore gon cities in the number of buildings with a federal office building and postoffice to cost $6,060,000, a main postoffice to cost $1,900,000 for additional larid, site and buildings, a fed eral office building No. 2, site and building, $5,300,000 and $50,000 for court house remod eling. Among other Oregon towns listed for new postoffices were: Canby $85,000, Dallas $105,000. Independence $85,000, Lebanon $95,000, Molalla $85,000, Mon mouth $85,000, Mount Angel $85,000. Silverton $95,000. Stavton $85,000, Sweet Home $85,000. Toledo $95,000, Willa-n-.ina $85,000 and Woodburn $85,000. The department said all of the towns would be on the new list unless the postal receipts have dropped below $10,000 an nually. Burglars Taken in Strenuous Chase Portland, Oct. 21 (IP) Two youths charged with burglary were captured in the early dawn yesterday after they had squeezed through barred win dows, scaled high ledges, slid down elevator cables and dodg ed gunfire in alleys. Detective Lt. Carl Crisp re ported Robert H. Charboneau, 18, and a 14-year-old compan ion were on a second story ledge of an office building when they set off a burglar alarm.

Gunfire halted Charboneau but his companion was arrested at his Vanport home where he was in bed. Police said Charboneau was wanted in a robbery in San Francisco where he admitted he escaped police by shinnying down the understructure of the Golden Gate bridge.

Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon, Prospects of Chinese Peace Brightens as Negotiators Meet Nanking, Oct. 21 (U.R) Chinese communist leaders arrived In the capital today to enter into another round ot peace negotiations as a third party mediator predicted "a better than even chance" for success.

Chinese sources added that Chiang was prepared to return to Nanking on four hours notice if sufficient progress is made in the negotiations and that he can issue a cease fire order from Formosa if necessary. Before leaving, Chiang held a 45-minute meeting with U. S. Ambassador J. Lcighton Stuart. Meanwhile, Dr. Sun Fo, presi dent of the legislative Yuan, held a preliminary discussion with third party delegates.

Storm Damage (Continued from Page 1) Lloyd J. Henry, Salem mana ger for the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, said ap proximately 200 telephones were cut off by the wind and rain. Seventy-five percent had been cleared early Monday and it was expected the balance would be back in service with in a few hours. Long distance lines were little affected by the storm. Henry said that such a storm as swept the city uncovered in stances of trouble that had been developing over a period of weeks. Out at the veterans' housing project the mud holes that have not dried-up since the first rain of the fall grew big ger and new ones made their appearance with the downpour. By Monday morning the dirt streets had a considerable amount of slush but because constant use had packed them solidly cars were still able to get to all of the units though they had to do a bit of maneu vering to miss the big holes. City Engineer J. H. Davis said, however, that progress is being made In grading and graveling in the project. A dulldozcr will be at work some time during the week. Here and there about the city storm sewers were clogged with leaves, walnut hulls and other vegetation debris caught in streams that overflowed the gutters, but these instances of trouble were scattered and no serious condition had develop ed as far as reported to the en gineer's office Monday. A crew from the engineering depart ment worked about four hours Sunday clearing up the clog ged spots. Levy Suit Included Among Dismissals Included in dismissals of nine suits against Oregon meat deal ers brought by the OPA in fed eral court in Portland is one against Harry M. Levy, proprie tor of the Midget Market, Sa lem. The dismissals followed an argument by Herbert C.

Oct. 19 (IP) A spokes man for General MacArthur de clared tonight that Ambassador George C. Atchcson, Jr., had been "grossly misinterpreted" by those who said his recent remarks to the allied council meant the United States had adopted a new or relaxed pol icy toward Japan. At Wednesday's meeting of the four power council, the Rus sian delegate asked for Infor mation on what the Japanese government had done about violations or violators In Japan's April elections. Atcheson replied Instantly that the elections were free, clean, honest and orderly and that the Japanese government could be proud of that fact. "Japanese aims have become virtually identical with allied aims," he said. W. MacMahon Ball, the Brit ish member, declared those re marks could be viewed as "ex pressions of cordiality and con fidence toward the present Japanese government."
